LG 47LC7DF sound 2 second backlight: CCFL Removal?

I'm hopping someone can give me a tip or two for removing (how to get to them)? Does everything need to be removed off the back panel, as well as the back panel itself to gain access to an individual CCFL? I see an unusual type of fastener (Picture #2)? Not sure how it get's removed? Maybe it doesn't? Any tips, tricks, or proper steps, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!...

Thanks Bill,

I never considered a disconnected CCFL would cause a shut down vault (no voltage as opposed to an over voltage). I appreciate the direction, and will substitute in know good CCFLs to see if that is indeed the problem.

Hey Bill,

I even went so far as to disconnect all of the CCFLs from that inverter board, but it still did the 2 second flash of the other A,B,D, inverters CCFLs. It's only when that inverter board 'C' is disconnected from the PSU that I get the 3/4 backlight picture as seen?

Here's how it looks with 3 out of the 4 inverter boards working (inverter board 'C' is disconnected from the power suppy)....

Hello,
I have a LG LCD 47LC7DF that has sound and will flash the backlight on for 2 seconds (then goes black), on power up. I re-capped all the secondary PSU caps (None bloating or leaking), but the problem remained the same. Now, if I unplug the 'C' slave inverter board (4 total A,B,C,D), from the PSU, the backlight comes on, and i have a picture, albeit a little dark in the 'C' inverter corner. I then replaced the 'C' 'D' (pair) inverters assuming 'C' had gone bad. Well, that's what 'assuming' gets me, because it still does that exact same thing, (sound, 2 second backlight flash). And...
